UNIT REQUEST: ZSU - Shilka SP AA GUN

[Civ Commando]

I was wondering if any of you awsome unit creaters would be interested in creating a ZSU - Shilka SP AA GUN or a M247 sgt york AA gun.

ZSU - Shilka SP AA GUN is a russian made self propelled anti aircraft gun. variations of the Shilka have seen service with many countrys and conflicks around the world.

Some images of the Shilka

- some sites with more images of the Shilka

And another AA gun if any one is interested in creating this one. The M247 was a project started by the American Department of defense to replace the aging Vulcan AA gun system. unfortunetly the M247 never entered service due to development problems.

some images of the m247:

I have more images on my hard drive if anyone is interested in creating the M247.

I hope one of you unit creaters could take on one of these units.

I dont know much about 3D modeling, but i do know that Operation Flashpoint has a Shilka unit in the game, so if someone can convert that model from what ever format that Operation flashpoint has its models in, that would take a few steps out of the process of making this unit. but there might be to much detail in the unit so i dont know. like i said i dont know much about 3D modeling, thats why i am requesting someone make this for meh and other people who could find this usefull

hey yea i'd really like to see this unit too, cuz this is also in a game called Real War.

The files that make up it are in .bse and .tgc so if anyone can use those i could upload the file onto this and they could create it.

 

[Civ Commando]

cool, if some one could convert those that would be great, if thats not possible I will settle for a nice 3D model

but theres not really a fit for such units...theres no skills in the editor that can make ground units do air superiority to try to shoot down airplanes flying into their path (since they have no operational range either im assuming the plane must be bombing them or otherwise it wont work either)...

 

[Incubus0223]

hey yea you can make land units work as an air unit basically what i did was model it after an air units stats such as the jet fighter and the only prob is unless you make it an air unit the comp won't use it but its there own fault unless you give it an attack or defense rating (i think explore might work haven't tried it)

Gotta love the ZSU 23-4

 

[Civ Commando]

The ZSU 23-4 and M247 can infact ingage ground targets so they should have atleast a low defense and attack strengh.

Here is an image of the Shilka in Operation flashpoint.

Does any have any interest in this unit? anyone?. Smoking mirror, kinboat, any of you guys up to making this unit?

 

[Civ Commando]

Here are some more images of the M247 sgt york just in case anyone has any interest in this as a civ3 unit.

I'm waiting for Play the world to come out before I tackle any AA gun units, cos as the rules stand now, a dedicated AA tank is of very limited use- compared to the other requests that I'm working on. Hopefully when PTW comes out, there should be some kind of fix to make AA ground units possible- If not I will make one any way, they are of limited use but not of no use
